To a one dram vial, charged with methanol (1mL) and furfurylamine, phenanthrene-9-carboxaldehyde, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid and n-butyl isocyanide (0.5mmol each) was added in that order. After each addition, the resulting solution was vortexed for at least 15 seconds and confirmed that a homogeneous solution had been obtained. The vial was capped tight and left at room temperature for 1 day.
The phenanthrene-9-carboxaldehyde appeared to be less soluble than the other starting materials. The vortex time recorded in the log is five minutes compared to the 15 seconds necessary for the other components.
All results are recorded Master Table and Workflow Tables.
Conclusion
After the vial set out at room temperature for a day and was sonicated. No precipitate was formed.

Objective
To synthesize a Ugi adduct from furfurylamine, phenanthrene-9-carboxaldehyde, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid and n-butyl isocyanide in methanol using Ugi 4CR following Explan005. The target compound was ranked 19 in the DEXP014-V1B file from D-EXP014. The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize an anti-malarial compound based on the inhibition of falcipain-2, as described in this summary post.Procedure
